0N/AWorking on the "langtools" workspace using NetBeans.
0N/Aallow you to work on the various tools using the NetBeans IDE.
0N/ANetBeans 5.0 or later is required and sufficient to use these
0N/Aprojects. This is different from other projects in OpenJDK,
0N/Awhich requires version 6.0 or later.
0N/AThe following projects are provided:
0N/Acompiler: for working on the compiler, javac
0N/Ajavadoc: for working on the documentation tool, javadoc
0N/Adoclets: for working on the standard doclets used by the
0N/A documentation tool, javadoc
0N/Ajavah: for working on the C header tool, javah
0N/Ajavap: for working on the disassembler, javap
0N/Aapt: for working on the annotation processing tool, apt.
0N/A Note that this is just provided for completeness;
0N/A the tool has been superceded by new features in javac,
0N/A and work on apt itself is discouraged.
0N/AHowever, any tool can be worked on from any project; the only difference
0N/Abetween these projects is the behavior of the standard NetBeans actions,
0N/Aso that "Build" in the compiler project will build the compiler, etc.
